This assignment asked me to illustrate a story for a magazine and was one which captured my imagination. I was lucky enough to be able to attend preseason testing with British Superbikes which I enjoy, and having thought about the emerging stories in the sport, I decided there would be enough material to make my story work.
“Once again this was a successful and interesting assignment submission[ ….]your enthusiasm for this area really comes through in the imagery and annotation.”
“The assignment contains everything an editor would expect to see really with some of the images working really well and made so much more interesting due to the full access you have managed to negotiate”
I was pleased my tutor liked my first establishing image. I had thought hard about which one to use, as I appreciated that I had to get the tone of the story right. I was interested to note my tutor’s comment on the action shots, because I find it repetitive taking them! I think people expect to see a few action shots of bikes out on track and so I have learnt how to take them to the best of my ability with the kit available to me, but I find the people the most interesting.
I was interested to note that one of my photographs I hadn’t selected because I didn’t think it fitted into the story quite as well as some of the others, was “a great shot in terms of positioning the subject and the stance etc.” I liked this photograph too and thought it unfortunate that I couldn’t make it fit.
Follow up work from Assignment 4
- To look at the work of Muller, Germain, King, Billingham.
I visited the Hallwood Library at Nottingham University to read Billingham’s book. The others I researched on line as I was unable to find them locally. Book review for the other 3 books completed. (See Tutor feedback Assignment 4)
- Include Harvard referencing.
I am continuing to use the Harvard referencing system and took on board comments to make my referencing easier for myself.
Follow up work from Assignment 5
Preparation for assessment. Form completed and about to be sent off for July assessment. Will be speaking to my tutor to discuss what to include for submission.
